At least 26 people have been killed, and scores have been injured, near a US-backed aid distribution site near Gaza's southern city of Rafah, according to medics and residents.

A local Palestinian journalist told the BBC that thousands of Palestinians had gathered near a humanitarian aid distribution centre when Israeli tanks approached and opened fire on the crowd.

The incident reportedly took place to the west of Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, and the injured are being treated at one of Gaza’s few functioning hospitals in Khan Younis.

The wording of this BBC article, as usual, makes it seem like the PEOPLE they murdered just happened to be in the crossfire.You know? As opposes to being lured somewhere during a manmade famine. Glaze those Zionist micro dicks some more, why don't cha?

'dead after' is horrible wording but I specifically selected this BBC article because it mentioned the number of victims and the Israeli tanks opening fire.

TheGuardian is fully leaving out the perpetrator, victim count and the tank.

They're just using verbiage and phrasing common to ... well basically any coverage of Police in the US these days.

Passive voice!

Indirect verbs / verb tense!

Respect and obey!

"At least 26 killed amid Israeli tank fire near Gaza aid centre, rescuers say"

is the updated version, which I read as some may have died in the crush to escape or by falling or something during the slaughter and mayhem.

Which is typical media style to avoid expensive lawsuits.

Both the IDF and the "aid agency" claim NOTHING HAPPENED, while the doctors at the hospital say all fatal injuries are gunshots.

I'm not sure if they have any of their own people onsite, given that Israel isn't allowing it and has killed many journalists.

Yeah at some point the journalistic ethics must trump the legal liability.

“No other army on the planet has been more benevolent”

  • a real quote from fellow Americans almost 5000-7000 miles away

Jees what were the odd of them dying right after that tank opened fire.

Damn terrorists, couldn't you die some other day?

I got a 404 clicking on your link cuz it looks like a bunch of unnecessary stuff after pj6t.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c628n68zpj6t works for me, in case anyone else has same problem.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I have rechecked and re-applied the link which bbc redirects to here: (the bbc link which says 'share') and tested it again to make sure it works for me.

Are you still have having issues with the link?

[–] Mister_Feeny@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Yep, still a 404 for me. Not a big deal, at least for me though, as I was still able to find the article, and if anyone else has my issue, my guess is that my link will work for them?
